Møller Architects win planning and listed building consent for The Danish Church in London<img src="http://www.cfmoller.com/img/img-8700-w720-h0.jpg" border="0" alt="" title="" />
The project at St. Katharine’s Church consists of the full refurbishment and landscape design for the Grade II* Listed Gothic Revival Church at Regent’s Park, London.
<!--htm-->
<p>Designed by Ambrose Poynter and dating from 1826, the prominent brick and stone structure resides within The Crown Estate and has been occupied by the Danish Church since 1952. Today, the Danish Church in London is in more demand than ever. Throughout the year, Danes gather at St Katharine’s Church for a host of religious, cultural and social events. In order to sustain the growing activity and community outreach programmes, the Church urgently required a more effective use of its space.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>A considered and comprehensive refurbishment is achieved through sensitive, heritage-led interventions. The marriage of Scandinavian design traditions in the materials and detailing denote the Danish chapter of the Church’s history. The project focuses primarily on the reconfiguration of three key spaces at the Church: The Vicarage Wing, Church Hall and South Garden. The Nave will be limited to restoration, save for the addition of underfloor heating and improvements to the pews. The project will implement a sustainable and long-term heating strategy through the addition of ground source heat pumps in the South Garden.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>C.F. Møller Architects have liaised with the Danish Church in London to develop a robust brief and series of design proposals, undertaking multiple consultations with Camden Council, Historic England and The Crown Estate.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Full planning and listed building consent was granted by Camden Council on the 17th July 2018.</p>Tue, 07 Aug 2018 12:00:00 +0200http://www.cfmoller.com/g/C-F-Moeller-Architects-to-design-for-prominent-German-university-i17838.htmlcfmoller@cfmoller.comC.F. Møller Architects to design for prominent German university<img src="http://www.cfmoller.com/img/img-8698-w720-h0.jpg" border="0" alt="" title="" />
C.F. Møller Architects has been selected for an ambitious campus masterplan outlining the future development of the University and University Hospital of Heidelberg, one of Germany’s and the world’s most prestigious universities.
<!--htm-->
<p>Heidelberg University is Germany's oldest university and one of the world's oldest surviving universities and in the same academic league as University of Cambridge and University of Oxford and Harvard University. The campus area Im Neuenheimer Feld is located alongside the river Neckar, in close proximity to the historic centre of Heidelberg, and accommodates the natural sciences and medicine faculties. The masterplan will cover an area of about 120 ha, and set the framework for the main campus’ development over the next 30 years and beyond envisioning an extension potential of about 800,000 square metres of construction.</p>
<p><br />C.F. Møller Architects will be working together with HENN and Arup in a highly participatory, workshop-based process in close collaboration with the university, city and community of Heidelberg. The aim is to combine development potentials with upgrades of public spaces and ecological values, new urban mobility concepts and social infrastructure to create a world-class research, education and treatment environment. The work will begin in august 2018.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>C.F. Møller Architects has been working with a long list of campus designs for key Nordic institutions like the Universities of Copenhagen, Aarhus, Stockholm, Oslo, Odense, Aalborg and the Copenhagen Business School, VIA University College and many more. In the German market, C.F. Møller is currently working with two major healthcare clusters in Aachen and Braunschweig, and was recently named the winner of an international competition for Hamburg-Altona’s new long-distance train station.</p>Tue, 03 Jul 2018 12:00:00 +0200http://www.cfmoller.com/g/C-F-MOeLLER-ARCHITECTS-PROPOSAL-REGARDING-BUSINESS-CONNECTION-TRELLEBORG-IS-BASED-ON-A-CIRCULAR-EC-i17835.htmlcfmoller@cfmoller.comC.F. MØLLER ARCHITECTS' PROPOSAL REGARDING BUSINESS CONNECTION TRELLEBORG IS BASED ON A CIRCULAR ECONOMY<img src="http://www.cfmoller.com/img/img-8687-w720-h0.jpg" border="0" alt="" title="" />
Together, C.F. Møller Architects and Tyréns make up one of three teams in the competition for Business Centre Trelleborg. The assessment will result in a compilation of good ideas from all three proposals – ideas that can be built on. The compilation will form the basis for continued work and discussion, which in turn will lead to a physical structural plan for the area.
<!--htm--><p><strong>Background</strong><br />As the port of Trelleborg has to move to a new location in order to meet future shipping requirements, a new ring road and new functions for check-in and setup are needed. This gives Trelleborg Municipality an opportunity to create attractive neighbourhoods in the old port area and develop the old eastern business area with its businesses into a new, future-oriented area with businesses that create added value for the region and Trelleborg. The work is taking place as part of the urban-development project Coastal Town 2025 and in cooperation with the Swedish Agency for Economic and Regional Growth.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The design assignment is to develop the business centre into a strong, proud and collaborative area. An important part of the assignment is to show how the area, with its existing and new functions, relates to the environment, with its unique values in terms of nature and culture. Within an area of 180 ha, various functions, services and creative meeting places will be developed.</p>
<p><br /><strong>Flexibility, Knowledge and Urban Landscape</strong><br />C.F. Møller Architects' vision for the area describes a value-creating strategy that seeks to create an attractive and multifaceted development area as a part of town with a strong profile.</p>
<p><br />The new area will be an innovative and sustainable meeting place where smart circular systems and integrated landscape design contribute positively to the overall experience. The area is a new warehouse in the town that creates attractive new platforms for knowledge-intensive businesses and industry &amp; commerce. Trelleborg and the port constitute a national and international hub for export and import that contributes positively to the town’s overall identity. Cross-fertilisation of businesses with public spaces creates positive synergies and circular links. The multifaceted programme and a clear vision contribute to a destination and meeting place that are rich in experiences.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The interaction between all the area’s different businesses and functions creates the prerequisites for an innovative and bio-based circular economy. A new green neighbourhood that invites the area's neighbours to be an active part of the area. Business Connection Trelleborg will create frameworks for a future Business Centre where intrapersonal encounters are the key to sustainable innovation and a strong international brand for Trelleborg.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>“Together, C.F. Möller and Tyréns have successfully visualised what may come to be the strategic criteria for success, in order to attain the qualities we wish to achieve through our collaboration. Through marketing of the area's hallmark of sustainability and experiences, it will become a characteristic of the future BCT,” says Håkan Asmoarp, Business Center Trelleborg’s subproject manager.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Corridors, Entrances and Landscape Embankments</strong><br />The creation of landscape embankments along Highway 9 will define the adjacent areas as part of the town. The embankment along Business Connection Trelleborg will become an urban landscape element designed to create value. It will at the same time be an infrastructural element, a building and a recreational meeting place. The embankment will bind the entire area to the town, forming an attractive landscape encounter with the residential area to the south. It will be a recreational meeting place in the town where visitors and residents can walk and cycle along the top of the embankment. Special vantage points along the embankment will create visual contact with the coast and the hinterland.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The three proposals of C.F. Møller Architects/Thyréns, Wingårdh Arkitekter/WSP and BSK Arkitekter/A-Nord Arkitekter have been comprehensively assessed by employees at several of the municipality's administrations and by a number of its partners.</p>
<p><br />"The various teams have sent us three interesting proposals in which they have made interpretations and various assessments of what is important for the area," says Håkan Asmoarp, Business Centre Trelleborg’s project manager.</p>Fri, 29 Jun 2018 12:00:00 +0200http://www.cfmoller.com/g/C-F-Moeller-Architects-win-new-project-in-Germany-i17834.htmlcfmoller@cfmoller.comC.F. Møller Architects win new project in Germany<img src="http://www.cfmoller.com/img/img-8672-w720-h0.jpg" border="0" alt="" title="" />
C.F. Møller Architects have won an international competition for a new train station development in Altona, Hamburg. The proposal looks to act as a visionary landmark and an urban catalyst, both for the northern district of Altona’s development and the wider city of Hamburg.
<!--htm-->
<p>By interlinking nature and city life, the new station plays a role in contributing to the city’s vision of consolidating and giving significance to its green spaces</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Conceptually, the project is a compilation of three primary elements: a base, a roofscape and two towers. The base gathers the project's public and urban attributes, while the two towers accommodate a hotel and office spaces with views of Hamburg. An undulating roof landscape binds these two elements together and looks to offer a softer and inviting quality to the proposal.</p>
<p>The base level hosts the public realm and the new Altona North train station, creating contact with adjacent streets and urban spaces. It looks to provide the backdrop to a wide range of public functions that create life and activity within a station; such as cafes, restaurants, shops, fitness facilities, bicycle parking, waiting areas and entrance lobbies.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The connective roof not only gathers together the different elements of the project but also provides a canopy for many outdoor public functions at ground level. It allows the covered area of the forecourt to be used 365 days a year for cafés, farmers’ markets and cultural events. The roof itself hosts a green park above, with covered outdoor spaces for the hotel and offices. The roof landscape embodies a collective and progressive vision of reinforcing Hamburg’s green credentials.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>"We are really proud that our design has been selected. The project will be a beacon in the future development of the Diebsteich quarter. Our vision is to connect the station, city quarter, hotel and office building with a distinctive green profile, which reflects the green focus of the city of Hamburg. We are looking forward to be working with ProHa Altona, "says Mads Mandrup Hansen, Partner and Architect at C.F. Møller Architects.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Invited International Competition</strong><br />A total of thirteen architecture firms participated in the international competition, three of which continued to the final phase. The proposals were further considered following input from the client, which is the City of Hamburg in cooperation with the development company ProHa Altona and Deutsche Bahn Station &amp; Service. Aside from C.F. Møller, local architects GMP from Hamburg and Baumschlager Eberle from Austria progressed to the last phase and C.F. Møller were finally appointed as the competition winner.</p>

<p><strong>Experience in Combining Infrastructure and Urban Development</strong></p>
<p>The win in Hamburg is the latest assignment for C.F. Møller to further its experience in creating a significant transit and urban hub within an emerging city neighbourhood. In 2017, Värtaterminalen, a ferry terminal in Stockholm, was completed and the office has recently won competitions for a new central station in Lund, Sweden, and a new central station in Oslo, named ‘Fjordporten – Nordic Light’. An alternative approach is seen in Aarhus, Denmark, where C.F. Møller are currently working on covering an existing railway site to create a new, car-free urban quarter in the centre of Aarhus.</p>

Realdania and Sustainia published Klima100 today, a catalogue of 100 of the best climate solutions from municipalities across the country. The publication is designed to increase knowledge sharing and the process of green transition within the municipalities, and the Storkengen project by C.F. Møller Landscape is among the selected projects.
<!--htm-->
<p>100 of the best climate solutions from 80 Danish municipalities are presented in Klima100, a publication released 23 May. Klima100 is funded by Realdania and was compiled by Sustainia. C.F. Møller Landscape is represented with its climate project Storkeenge, developed in cooperation with Orbicon, Vandmiljø Randers.</p>
<p><br /><strong>Storkeengen - climate protection with added value</strong><br />The Storkeengen meadow is at Vorup near Randers, and is intended to tackle the district's current and future climate challenges by transforming the site into a public nature park. Using climate change adaptation, the park will also bring the unique natural delta along the River Gudenå closer to the centre of Randers and its residents.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Storkeengen will mean that climate protection will not only help to deal with increased water levels, but also add value to the area. This will be achieved by combining visible wastewater solutions with areas designated for recreational activity and nature dissemination, increasing the area's accessibility and nature right into the heart of Randers.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Selection procedures</strong> <br />The 100 projects for Klima100 were assessed and selected by Sustainia using a points system based on seven criteria:</p>
<p>1. Climate effect: The project’s expected or proven reduction in greenhouse gases and/or contribution to climate protection.</p>
<p>2. Added value: Whether the project has helped to improve anything other than climate-related issues, as defined by the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals.</p>
<p>3. Innovation: To what extent does the project exhibit a new or pioneering approach to solving climate challenges?</p>
<p>4. Cooperation: To what extent is good collaboration demonstrated between those involved in the project, e.g. between municipal services and boundaries?</p>
<p>5. Public involvement: To what extent does the project involve the public in its development and implementation?</p>
<p>6. Scalability: To what degree is the project designed to be potentially scaled and duplicated elsewhere and in other municipalities?</p>
<p>7. Knowledge sharing: To what extent is project experience shared (or planned to be shared) across municipal services, boundaries or internationally?</p>Wed, 23 May 2018 12:00:00 +0200http://www.cfmoller.com/g/Publication-of-plan-for-new-urban-space-in-Oslo-i17821.htmlcfmoller@cfmoller.comPublication of plan for new urban space in Oslo<img src="http://www.cfmoller.com/img/img-8637-w720-h0.jpg" border="0" alt="" title="" />
C.F. Møller Architects, Kristin Jarmund Architects and Rodeo Architects announce the plan for a new urban space with a square, hotel and high-rise building at Oslo Central Station, to create attractive recreational areas and effective urban connections. The project was developed for KLP Eiendom.
<!--htm-->
<p>Oslo Central Station is located in the heart of central Oslo, as a transport hub between Oslo and the rest of the world. Kristin Jarmund Architects, C.F. Møller Architects and Rodeo Architects, in collaboration with Bollinger &amp; Grohmann Engineers and Transsolar, have published a planning proposal for the address Biskop Gunnerus gate 14B at the Central Station for KLP Eiendom. The project is a further development of a winning proposal, developed by Kristin Jarmund Architects and C.F. Møller Architects, in a prequalified architectural competition in 2009.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Ambitions</strong><br />The project proposal optimises the urban plan by interconnecting different areas and terrain differences, and is also organised to support a good and efficient flow. Biskop Gunnerus gate 14B must thus serve as an urban life generator and driving force for the area's development and highlight Oslo's ambition to make this particular part of the city better at handling many transport users, while also being an attractive place to visit. Based on the site’s location between the Oslo Central Station traffic hub and the districts of Grønland and Vaterland, the project underlines the meeting between the special characteristics and qualities of the three areas. KLP Eiendom’s ambition is also for Biskop Gunnerus gate 14B to be a pioneering international project when it comes to the environment and sustainability.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>New public urban space</strong><br />Today, existing buildings account for 100% of the site’s area, but with the new plan more than 50% of the area will be used as a publicly accessible urban space. A cohesive new ground level will be established as a continuous landscape element that also connects the area with the green path along the river Akerselva, where the water is highlighted as an experience element. The cohesive terrain eliminates level differences and establishes new connections, with an effective flow between Schweigaards gate, a bus terminal and Nylandsbroen.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Roof gardens and vantage points growing out of the landscape</strong><br />The project consists of two building volumes, standing on a common base with a square. The western building will primarily house a hotel, while the eastern building will mainly be devoted to offices. The building blocks are broken down into several smaller volumes which, with their scale and proportions, are together reminiscent of the Oslo silhouette. The project appears to emerge from the ground, with green terracing that lifts the green urban space along the Akerselva up across the city landscape. The various terrace rings are used for roof gardens and vantage points and to promote life on the inside of the buildings through large window apertures, which also reveal the city's high points in the urban landscape. </p>Fri, 11 May 2018 12:00:00 +0200http://www.cfmoller.com/g/C-F-Moeller-Architects-reveals-a-new-tower-for-a-prominent-harbour-site-in-Aarhus-i17819.htmlcfmoller@cfmoller.comC.F. Møller Architects reveals a new tower for a prominent harbour site in Aarhus<img src="http://www.cfmoller.com/img/img-8622-w720-h0.jpg" border="0" alt="" title="" />
The property developer Olav de Linde and C.F. Møller Architects have published plans for a 144-metre tall office building close to the Port of Aarhus. Appearing as a bright sculptural landmark, it will welcome city life into an active public realm with new cultural, retail and business amenities.
<!--htm-->
<p>Across the world, former industrial port areas are becoming transformed into new city neighbourhoods, often with striking buildings and new recreational spaces for city residents. Aarhus is no exception, considering the rapid development of its port area. The property developer Olav de Linde and C.F. Møller Architects have published plans for a new business tower at the address Mindet 6 in the Aarhus harbour district.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Integrating the old and the new</strong><br />Currently the site holds an existing industrial complex, a legacy of the port’s history and former industry. The impressive structure will be preserved and a new tower will become integrated into the existing complex. The tower’s basic geometry originates from the existing building, as it looks to unite both the new and the old in an urban and architectural context.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The intrinsic historical qualities of the existing building will be enthusiastically retained, yet also reinterpreted to allow the building to open up more towards its surroundings, to create a greater connection between indoor and outdoor spaces. On the roof of the existing complex, a new, publicly accessible rooftop garden is included in the proposals, alongside a restaurant, orangery and kitchen garden.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Olav de Linde, CEO and Owner of Byggeselskabet Olav de Linde, said:</p>
<p>“It has been important for us to develop the old building and open it up, to create a vibrant new area in the port for all city residents. The project will create a new entrepreneurial and green environment in Aarhus, as part of the city’s new recreational belt stretching all the way from the port to Marselisborg Forest. In this way, we are combining the new and the old, the city and the landscape, and residents and business”.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Bright and Slender</strong><br />The tower itself is designed as a bright and slender sculptural landmark, contributing vertical green foyers to both the building users and city skyline. The façades are layered to create a spatial relief in light terrazzo, which is shaped to mirror the sun’s orientation. The façade design focuses primarily on ensuring optimum daylight conditions, attractive views out and a healthy indoor climate. With its three cantilevering vertical foyers, the building’s geometry is multi-oriented, with characterful and textural layering on multiple scales.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The location’s potential, with its proximity to the city and the sea, favourable daylight conditions and natural outlook, forms an ideal backdrop for a very special atmosphere, ensuring a unique project that is clearly anchored in the site’s industrial history.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Michael Kruse, Architect and Partner at C.F. Møller Architects, said:</p>
<p>“Our idea and vision has been to create a bright and slender tower that is fully integrated with the existing structure on site. The building is oriented to all sides and, from 360 degrees, appears open and welcoming. This looks to appeal to both building users and city residents, by weaving the old and the new together, with ‘openness’ as the unifying thread. The high degree of public access will make the project a significant catalyst in combining both urban and professional activities”.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Mindet 6 will thus constitute a significant future urban landmark for Aarhus. Currently, the project has been submitted to the City of Aarhus’ planning department for consultation, and it is hoped that construction can commence in around 18 months’ time.</p>
